Ben Lin, senior analyst at international LED consultancy LEDinside in Shenzhen, said they may include some listed companies as well as unlisted players such as Shenzhen Spark Optoelectronics S&T Co, Shenzhen Collection Enterprises Co and French-invested Zhongshan Juneng Hi-tech Optoelectronics & Lighting Co.
Chinese LED makers currently rely heavily on foreign companies for chips, which account for half of the production cost of the lights. Bringing that technology back home would help reduce costs. Lower costs and advances in technology are crucial if China is to meets its LED goals.
Reflecting a global trend, the Chinese LED high bay light market will likely see a compound annual growth rate of over 40 percent through 2016, making up 46 percent of the country's overall general lighting industry, the McKinsey report said.
Next week at Strategies in Light, the premier conference and exhibition for solid-state lighting (SSL), emerging fabless company, Ikon Semiconductor, will debut its digital controller Integrated Circuit (IC) technology for the dimmable LED retrofit market. The new technology is designed to meet cost and performance standards for today’s LED lighting products, while also enabling greater design simplicity for bulb manufacturers and OEMs. Central to the IC’s value is an innovative digital architecture that eliminates costly components – a benefit that reduces the form factor and improves reliability.

the white sands under tropical palm tree
The paradisiacal beaches of Playa del Carmen promise their own picture-perfect sunsets, complete with surf breaking on the white sands under tropical palm trees, but the same effect can now be enjoyed by the hordes of hungry tourists now flocking to this chic hot spot, when they dine at local restaurant La Penita de Jaltemba, basking in the warm sunset glow of the MR16 2200K LED lamp, created through the fruitful pioneering teamwork of ALT and Cree.
According to Professor Wasilewski, “MBE technology is rich in its application across several fields of study that we are focusing on here at WIN and IQC. After thorough evaluation, we thought the GEN10 was the best choice due to its flexible cluster architecture, system design details, full automation and relatively small footprint. It ideally fits our needs across many research frontiers. Also, given the importance of effusion cells to our research, we thought Veeco would be a great choice given their expertise and our history with their cells.”
Jim Northup, Vice President, General Manager of Veeco’s MBE Operations, commented, “Our team is very excited that the University of Waterloo has selected the GEN10 as its first piece of equipment to be installed at the new Quantum-Nano Center. It’s a great example of how Veeco’s state of the art MBE technology continues to remain at the forefront of broad based research around the world.”

the technology will also provide illumination for homes
Another significant market for sapphire is Silicon-on-Sapphire (SoS) Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs). SoS RFIC chips deliver high RF performance with low power consumption, a small form factor, and significantly reduced crosstalk in antenna applications that are pervasive in smart phones and other consumer devices.
British scientists are working on tiny LED lights that could deliver Wi-Fi-like internet communications, while simultaneously displaying information. At the same time, the technology will also provide illumination for homes, offices and a whole host of other locations.
Over the next four years, with Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding, a consortium of UK universities LED high bay light by the University of Strathclyde will be developing this innovative technology to help unleash the full potential of 'Li-Fi'—the transmission of internet communications using visible light rather than the radio waves and microwaves currently in use.
Although the potential possibilities offered by Li-Fi are already being explored all over the world, the EPSRC-funded consortium is pursuing a distinctive vision that could deliver enormous benefits, the scientists promise: Underpinning Li-Fi is the use of LEDs, a rapidly spreading lighting technology which is expected to become dominant over the next 20 years. Imperceptibly, LEDs flicker on and off thousands of times a second. By altering the length of the flickers, it is possible to send digital information to specially adapted PCs and other electronic devices—making Li-Fi the digital equivalent of Morse Code. This would make the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum available for internet communications, easing pressure on the increasingly crowded parts now used.

the continued growth of mobile smart devices
with the trend toward LED lighting replacing fluorescents in many buildings throughout the world, and the continued growth of mobile smart devices, LED lights that broadcast location data can help consumers interact within shopping malls, museums, trade shows, office buildings, factories and even airports and airplanes.
Each ByteLight-enabled LED high bay light broadcasts a proprietary signal that a smart device camera can detect. ByteLight’s platform delivers location information to easily update visitors with real-time maps and related location-based information without an active network connection. ByteLight administration features even enable building staff to analyse visitor traffic patterns and measure engagement.
Rather than creating an open standard, ByteLight’s firmware must be licensed to LED manufacturers, who then embed the ByteLight technology directly into the LED lamp as it is being manufactured. ByteLight recently licensed LED manufacturer, Solais, to produce ByteLight-enabled LED lighting for commercial and enterprise building solutions.
This application is really powerful, however, the standard needs to be adopted by smartphone operating systems or major app developers (who wants to use anything other than Google Maps?), but, in the mean-time you’ll be able to download a ByteLight app that can be used wherever ByteLight technology is used. Hopefully, this app will be of comparable quality to other, already established, smartphone mapping apps.
A dedicated curing system for wide format inkjet printers, the new Subzero LED (above) offers ground-breaking performance for air-cooled LED technology combined with the architectural pedigree, features and benefits of the UK-based company’s 2005 launched SubZero UV lamp range.

where illumination of the space is only required when occupied
Lumix has developed a smart range of multi-functional LED high bay light with each product offering either basic, motion sensor, emergency pack, or emergency pack with sensor options. The motion sensor options include an adjustable detection range, adjustable trigger level and the ability to dim to 0 or 20% illumination when no one is present. In addition, the units can be interlinked which allows a group of lights to be triggered by one unit with a sensor. This is particularly useful for corridors and stairwells where illumination of the space is only required when occupied.
“This is the first time we have identified a supplier that offers a full family of lights with similar multi-functionality”, explained Managing Director, Simon Leggett. “Lumix represent the kind of dynamic, innovative and creative company that Light Planet are proud to develop relationships with”.
The Lumix range of products is targeted directly at the fluorescent replacement market and features 2D replacement bulkheads for internal, external and architectural environments; 1 and 2 tube replacement for the vapour proof, IP65 T8 fluorescents which are ideal for car parks; and a low bay linear fitting that compares to T5 for around 50% of the energy consumption.
The same four also feature the accessibility feature, Voice Guidance, but only the WT60 and DT60 can be controlled by voice -- although it isn't full on voice control. They will start to become available this spring, with the top-of-the-line WT60 setting itself apart by featuring a built-in camera, 2D-3D conversion and a special ISFccc Calibration Mode.

manufacturers a sound testing ground for their global plans
It is generally the case that US juries make large awards, and it is generally the case that they get reduced on appeal,” Ilya Kazi from the UK’s Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys told the BBC. “If history repeats itself Marvell could face a smaller sum—but it’s still too soon to be sure how the process will play out.”
Another lightbulb to be searching for funding underneath the Indiegogo platform, the RoboSmart is an energy-efficient Bluetooth Smart enabled LED lightbulb which allows anyone the ability to customise their lighting from anywhere thanks to apps for both iOS and Android, allowing users to use either a tablet or a smart phone.
ITRI’s vice president and the general director of the institute’s Green Energy and Environment Research Laboratories, the new alliance aims to complete the CNS 15233 industry standard for the island’s LED streetlights, analyze and evaluate LED streetlight reliability and characteristic changes in a two-year period, sign a mutual-recognition agreement with the Fujian Province authorities on LED standards, survey consumer attitude on LED streetlights as guidelines for future improvements, and develop cooperation on LED streetlight installations in Poland, Malaysia and Australia via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ITRI executive noted that Taiwan has around 19% of global LED-lighting market and was the world’s No.3 LED manufacturer in output value last year. The Taiwan LED streetlight and household lighting markets provide the island’s manufacturers a sound testing ground for their global plans.

the energy consumption of the sector could have a significant impact on electricity demand
Lighting is one of those facets of modern life that we rather take for granted, but it is a huge consumer of electricity and LED lights consume a fraction compared to traditional incandescent lights or even fluorescent lights, which are themselves capable of up to 75% savings in power over incandescent.
Lighting accounts for 19 percent of global electricity consumption, so changes that slash the energy consumption of the sector could have a significant impact on electricity demand.
One factor holding back earlier adoption has been price. Although LED lights can last up to 50 times longer than an incandescent bulb, upfront costs have been prohibitive, so far. As production capacity rapidly rises and the rare earth metals yttrium, europium and terbium have fallen in price, the cost of manufacture has come down, speeding uptake.
According to Tasman Metals, a mining company in the sector, LEDs present many advantages over both incandescent and compact fluorescent light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer life, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability.

led Micron executives to narrow the focus on the development of LED technology
The Boise-based computer chip maker Micron Technology Inc. is scaling back on its plans to develop energy-efficient lighting technology, leading to the layoff of at least 30 workers.
Micron spokesman Dan Francisco confirmed the decision Wednesday in a story published by the Idaho Statesman. Francisco says increased competition in the LED market, a changing world economy and decision to focus on computer memory led Micron executives to narrow the focus on the development of LED technology.
The company started the LED light technology program in 2009 with the help of $5 million in federal economic stimulus cash. The division had 170 employees, and after the job layoffs 30 workers will remain with the program while another 110 have already taken other jobs with Micron.
Seesmart’s retrofit for Regis High School began by replacing the light fixtures in the gymnasium with LED fixtures. After seeing the results in the gym the administration decided to replace all of the school’s lighting with LED fixtures. Fluorescent lights were replaced with Seesmart LED tube lighting in over 100 classrooms, offices, and other educational spaces, as well as extensive hallways. The changeover included 967 new or retrofitted fixtures. Installation began in January 2012 and was almost fully completed in just three months.

There are also potential safety applications in the automotive sector
The wavelength of the chip prototype of 850 nanometers is perfect for infrared illumination, particularly for surveillance tasks and use with CCTV cameras. There are also potential safety applications in the automotive sector, such as precrash sensors and illumination sources for night vision systems.
“The way in which the efficiency and brightness have been increased can be transferred from 850 nanometers to other wavelengths,” said Markus Br?ll, Project Manager for the development of IRED chips at Osram Opto Semiconductors in Regensburg. “This means that it will be possible to create highly energy-efficient solutions for infrared lighting in the future”. Fewer components will be needed in multi-chip applications, saving both money and energy.The results of this development work are now being implemented stage by stage. The new chip is expected to go into series production between the start and middle of next year.

Which should lead to cheaper prices in the future
The city already has employed LED lights downtown with the development of N.C. Veterans Park, which opened last year. The new lights are up in the parking lot and along Bragg Boulevard next to the Airborne & Special Operations Museum. And the Amtrak station parking lot has recently converted to LED high bay light with a federal grant, said Craig Hampton, the city's special projects director.
While LED fixtures are still more than three times the cost of purchasing a sodium-vapor bulb, the price of $400 for one LED fixture has dropped 20 percent in just the past year since PWC began planning the pilot study, said Carolyn Justice-Hinson, the utility's main spokeswoman. And more manufacturers are joining in the craze, which should lead to cheaper prices in the future, she said.
PWC has another motive for the pilot study: The General Assembly in 2007 passed a law requiring public utilities to start investing in renewable energy and power-saving measures such as LED lights.
In most cases, PWC will use the same poles and replace the bulbs and fixtures hanging over the roadways. But PWC will use the study to decide whether cul-de-sacs, for instance, need brighter LED bulbs than those that will go up on blocks of streets.

PWC has another motive for the pilot study: The General Assembly in 2007 passed a law requiring public utilities to start investing in renewable energy and power-saving measures such as LED lights.
In most cases, PWC will use the same poles and replace the bulbs and fixtures hanging over the roadways. But PWC will use the study to decide whether cul-de-sacs, for instance, need brighter LED bulbs than those that will go up on blocks of streets.

The natural magnificence of the Garden's living collections
According to Gail Wood, Atlanta Botanical Garden Exhibition Manager, "Since this was our second year, the creativity bar was raised even higher. The teams worked for months in close collaboration with Lighting Science on top-secret designs to make this year's Great Lawn's "LED high bay light" even more spectacular than the original 2011 debut. Lighting gurus from Lighting Science combined their world-renowned products and innovative technologies to illuminate a 50-foot-tall landmark Dawn Redwood tree. Additional Lighting Science innovations wash the front conservatory with multi-colored hues.
"As a non-profit dedicated to cultivating and sharing organic beauty with the community, we were resolute that our holiday exhibition be a joyful expression of the season, but not at the expense of our mission to further environmental sustainability efforts and awareness," said Wood. "Lighting Science's brilliant LED fixtures transformed the Gardens into a breath-taking holiday landscape that will again delight thousands, all while preserving the environmental integrity that does justice to the natural magnificence of the Garden's living collections."
Designed in collaboration with Tres Fromme, Landscape Designer, each of the LED luminaires uses a mere 10 watts of energy while boasting the capacity to cast over 16 million distinctive color shades. The LED fixtures also include integrated sound sensitivity capabilities which sync the bulbs' with a musical soundtrack to create a sensation of a "choreographed" dance routine.
"This holiday season, Lighting Science is proud to provide the lighting technology behind the Atlanta Botanical Garden's interactive exhibition," said Keith Scott, chief commercial officer of Lighting Science. "By fusing LED technology and an unmatched eye for design, our Advanced Projects Group has turned architectural and artistic dreams into a brilliant winter wonderland. We are very proud to be a part of this wonderful exhibit once again."

blue lights at optimized ratios for plant growth
SDK has developed the new cultivation method jointly with Professor Masayoshi Shigyo, Faculty of Agriculture, Yamaguchi University. Compared with conventional LED-based plant growth facilities, the new method shortens shipment cycles and increases the amount of harvest through the irradiation of red and blue lights at optimized ratios for plant growth, using LED chips produced by SDK.
Kawauchi Village has decided to adopt the new cultivation method (the Shigyo method) and SDK's LED chips at its new plant growth facility, recognizing the advantages of the method. SDK has decided to license the LED high bay light technology for free to assist the village's reconstruction efforts.
The village, located at the center of Abukuma Highlands, is known for its rich rice crop. As the village is within the 30-km radius of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station, however, part of the village was designated as a "cautionary area" and the rest as an "evacuation-prepared area in case of emergency" after the nuclear accident following the Great East Japan Earthquake. The "evacuation-prepared area" designation has already been lifted, and some of the residents have started returning to the village. Nevertheless, it is not easy to restore the farmland, and employment opportunities in the village are not yet sufficient.
As part of its efforts to restore agriculture and ensure employment opportunities, Kawauchi Village decided to build a hydroponic plant growth facility that uses safe groundwater and artificial light. The facility, to be operated as a totally closed system, will ensure food safety, and employ 25 workers. A ground-breaking ceremony was held on October 20, and the facility will start producing leaf lettuce and herbs in April 2013.

LED bollards were added to the lighting plan
one of North America’s most experienced and knowledgeable manufacturers of outdoor lighting, has provided Sacred Heart Academy of Hempstead, NY with LED luminaires and bollards for its entire campus. In total, 35 single and multi-head poles and 50 bollards provide Sacred Heart students, families, and faculty with a lighting package that improves safety, saves energy, reduces maintenance, and helps beautify the school’s grounds.
Working in conjunction with school personnel and Cameron Engineering of Woodbury, NY, Sentry devised a comprehensive lighting plan for several types of areas including the driveway, parking area LED high bay light, student drop-off area, and various pathways. To provide suitable light levels and uniformity, single-head, double-head, and triple head poles were used primarily for the large, open spaces. For pathways, crosswalks and other small spaces, LED bollards were added to the lighting plan.
To provide safety in areas with high pedestrian traffic, matching non illuminated bollards augmented the use of LED bollards. Sentry also developed a unique bollard base so that several non illuminated bollards could easily be removed by maintenance personnel during times of special events or to allow emergency vehicles access to certain parts of the grounds.The specified LED linear high bay light are Sentry’s famed Battery Park series. Each is configured with a Zhaga-compliant Philips Fortimo light enginethat consumes a scant 58 watts of power, but emits 6000 lumens. Sentry’s SPR reflector system with Backlight Reduction asymmetrically distributes comfortable, pleasing, indirect light. The Backlight Reduction feature reduces house side illumination by approximately 35% while directing additional light towards the street side of the luminaire. As Sacred Heart is located amid a residential community, Backlight Reduction helps minimize any possible light trespass.
The specified bollards utilize Sentry’s Washington style decorative design. LED versions are configured with Xicato light engines that consume only 14 watts of energy. Sentry’s SPR conical reflector provides a symmetric Type V distribution to uniformly illuminate the various pathways and crosswalks.

resource efficient green economy are to be realized
Increasing numbers of countries are now achieving major financial savings, generating green jobs, and seeing reductions in mercury, sulphur dioxide, and other pollutants from power stations, through a switch to efficient lighting. Ambitious policies and partnerships must be seized if the social, economic, and environmental benefits of a transition to a low-carbon, resource efficient green economy are to be realized.
Viper Networks, Inc. has made success on both LED lighting pilot programs with Sri Lanka's Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources; and with Colombo city officials representing the largest metropolitan area in Sri Lanka.
While the Company seeks to install indoor lighting and street lights for all of Sri Lanka's 18 existing harbors and 11 new harbors under construction, the anticipated agreement (upon pilot project completion) for approximately 100 to 200 indoor lights and street lights per location represent the much smaller of the two pilot programs.
The Company's priority to establish significantly increased manufacturing capacity with Apollo Metro reflects in part, Viper Networks targeting much larger LED Street Light municipality clients for economically fast growing countries with major cities abroad, as well as a domestic focus on securing agreements with certain municipalities with multiple cities and towns within one or more U.S. counties for potential large scale LED street light replacement business.

It is helping to speed along the release higher lumen bulbs
While the difference between A19 and A21 is negligible to many buyers, the increased size and surface area does help Philips get around the pesky heat issues that often occur when trying to produce so much light. Some other manufacturers, especially those who are going through great pains to produce a 100W-equivalent, would call this cheating, but it is helping to speed along the release higher lumen bulbs.
Osram Sylvania’s upcoming 1600 lumen model is also an A21 while GE’s will use SynJet active cooling from Nuventix. The Switch100 bulb should be available before too long (no date has been announced) and that will use the company’s standard design, but that design is liquid-cooled. In other words, everyone has had to take some unconventional steps to get to 1600+ lumens.
At 81 lumens per watt the A21 LED is not as efficient as the company’s L Prizing winning bulb, but it does hit a respectable number. Their standard 12.5W model produces 800 lumens making for 64 lm/w. That’s a rather pedestrian number by today’s standard, but the bulb is available for about $20.
Over the course its life Philips expects the A21 LED to save its owner around $214 in energy spending, making for a nice return-on-investment for anyone that wants to invest now and save later. With an expected price of about $65 in December, these will be quite expensive to buy in bulk.
Along with the A21 Philips also announced the DimTone BR30 LED lamp. This is a directional bulb, often used as a floor or spotlight. The BR30 uses Philips’ Airflux technology, which optimizes cooling and means the bulb does not require an expensive, finned heat sink.

Where are short of brightness also can set up LED lights firstly
One of the things we're going to do across the board is the move to LED lighting in all our public areas by the end of 2013," Huijbrechts said. "Philips will provide technical assistance and design assistance for the different hotels because it's very important to choose the right lighting and take into account aspects like dimming and transformers, etc."
Additionally, Huijbrechts said the return on investment for larger renewable energy installations was too long for the company to consider, but added that she would push to set up supply deals with clean electricity providers.Kaohsiung city in Taiwan has applied for NT$ 500 million subsidies from government for installing efficient LED lights. The city schedules to install 38 regions, arranging to start the installation by the end of 2012, and plans to complete the project by the end of June.
According to officials, the government has already release NT$ 500 million subsidies to Energy Bureau backed by Ministry of Economic Affairs. And the principle of installation, will center on various administrative offices, and surrounding area will firstly considering about LED streetlights. In addition, streets where are short of brightness also can set up LED lights firstly.

with four located in Sao Paulo and the others in other states
The grand investment project was reportedly suspended for a while before, for a Brazilian nation-linked bank declined to finance Hon Hai’s investment until the Taiwanese company agreed to introduce newer technologies and manufacturing facilities as required by the Brazilian government into its display panel plant alongside the said manufacturing base.
With the new manufacturing base, Hon Hai will have a total of seven such bases in Brazil, with four located in Sao Paulo and the others in other states.
Taiwan’s LED industry has benefited from simmering anti-Japan sentiment in China, due to nationalization of the Diaoyutai islet. Formosa Epitaxy Incorporation (FOREPI) and Epistar to see booming revenues in September, because many LED-related orders diverted from Japan to Taiwan.
According to insiders, rising sales of color TVs in China drive demand for LED-backlit chips; while anti-Japan there has moved many Chinese LED TV factories and system providers to transfer chip orders from Nichia to Taiwan’s Epistar, FOREPI, Unity Opto Technology, Lextar, and I-Chiun Precision Industry Co., Ltd.

economically be made to serve custom lighting opportunities
allows customers to provide CAD files of the designs, which are directly printed in optics using a proprietary form of 3D printing. This removes the need for moulds, intermediate steps, and post-processing. Further, the Printoptical manufacturing process can print one optic or 10,000 – the customer only needs to order what they need. The reduction in the time taken to manufacture the optics, minimizes time-to-market and helps the manufacturer to better cater to customer demands.
Therefore, LUXeXceL’s technology provides the system integrator the flexibility to manufacture the desired volume, preventing wastage of the manufactured product. The system integrator also has the advantage of changing the LED chip manufacturer, depending upon the market trends, as there is no need for stocking optics. In addition, variations of an optic design for an existing fixture can easily, quickly and economically be made to serve custom lighting opportunities.
Further, the smoothness achievable in mould-making through subtractive machining is inherently afflicted by tool marks and abrasions and can never match the perfect smoothness formed by surface tension using the Printoptical process. The lack of flexibility in designing variety of textures and colours is another disadvantage of injection moulding that LUXeXceL has overcome.
“The outstanding benefits Printoptical offers is expected to obliterate the hesitancy LED system manufacturers have been showing in introducing newer products with different optic designs,” noted Krishnan. “Using LUXeXceL’s technology, the customer can manufacture optics like Fresnel lenses as well as free-form lenses, prisms, micro-structures, and optical laminates, and complex designs with complete colour graphics and textured surfaces, bringing LED out of its niche bracket for wider applications.”

with current tactics being building brand value
However, 80% of LED high bay light bulbs in China are generic with only three month supply but priced extremely low, a major obstacle to promoting Everlight products there.
The executive said the firm is mapping counter strategies but needs time to adjust mainlanders’ consuming habits, with current tactics being building brand value and product exposure in China.
According to insiders, Everlight is establishing sales channels in China via governmental tenders, LED street lighting, LED lighting for commercial use as for hotels and department stores, and residential applications.
Taiwan government considers relaxing restrictions on the fourth-round Chinese investments. It may allow mainland Chinese investments in hotels and sports facilities and remove the investment ceiling forbidding Chinese investors to own controlling stakes in seven key industries, including semiconductor, IC assembly, FPD (LED linear high bay light) and components, metal-cutting tools, electronic and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, LED, and solar cell.

Its objective is to develop ways to integrate optical
All components will be provided from one source – from the fa?ade lighting to the internal lights and the floodlight system on the playing field. Through the installation of over 350 lights by subsidiary Siteco in combination with metal-halide lamps from Osram, the Munich-based light manufacturer is even exceeding the highest standards newly defined by FIFA regarding the quality of light on the playing field. “The modern lighting solution from Osram provides the latest sports pitch lighting and guarantees brilliant images in LED linear high bay light quality. Our products even offer 50 percent greater performance than the FIFA specifications prescribe”, says Klaus-Günter Vennemann.
The LED panel on the external fa?ade of the arena in S?o Paulo will measure 170 m in length and 20 m in height and will be capable of displaying images, detailing scores and even playing videos. Around 840 LED lights with a total of 34,000 LEDs from Osram subsidiary Traxon will make it the largest LED stadium screen in the world. Inside the arena, Osram will also be fitting four additional high-definition screens from 30 m to 7.5 m with LEDs, which will display the current score or slow-motion shots.
Energy efficiency despite the highest level of brightness
The lights used in S?o Paulo will produce pitch lighting that at 5,000 lux is almost twice as intense as, for instance, that in Munich’s Allianz Arena. At the same time, the energy-efficient technologies used will require considerably fewer individual points of light than with conventional lighting technology. This will not only help to save electricity costs, but will also reduce expenditure in terms of installation and maintenance.
The research project Low Energy Electronics Systems (LEES) has started its work with a kick-off meeting. The program’s initiator is the renowned Singapore MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) Center based in Singapore. The LEES team consists of eminent research and science specialists and is targeting the development of cutting-edge technology to increase energy efficiency and advance high-tech industries that complement microelectronics. Two AIXTRON CRIUS 1x200 mm systems, which the project managers ordered early this year, will form the technological foundation basis for the LEES project work. They will be available for use in the project from the fourth quarter of 2012.
SMART is a collaborative project between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF). Its objective is to develop ways to integrate optical and electronic components on a chip – cost-effectively – using the highly promising III-V-on-silicon technology. By 2016, the researchers aim to have developed novel material compounds, process technologies, and integrated circuits on 200 mm CMOS-compatible silicon wafers.
Prof. Eugene A. Fitzgerald from MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) is the Lead-Principal Investigator for the project with Soon F. Yoon from the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department (EEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), LED high bay light. “Given the increasing scarcity of energy resources, we are being challenged to provide integrated circuits that have more functionality and higher performance, and use less power,” says Prof. Fitzgerald. Therefore, research is also focusing on the search for solutions that improve energy efficiency by using the latest most efficient storage devices, such as ultra-capacitors and nanobatteries.

LED chipmakers are still positive about their business
According to industry executives, it attributed the situation mostly to much higher price/performance ratio of Taiwan-made chips than that of LED high bay light chips made in the mainland. Besides, Taiwan’s LED chipmakers lead their mainland Chinese competitors by two years in terms of technological sophistication.
As a result, in spite of threat from mainland China , Taiwan’s LED chipmakers are still positive about their business.
Chairman Alpha Wu of assembler Unity Opto Technology pointed out that his company is pushing Epistar for delayed chips to keep up with the company’s humming production.
Epistar executives said contracts from assemblers like Unity have inundated their company’s production capacity in the recent two weeks.
FPI executives said immense orders from Unity and backlight module maker Luemns of South Korea have left their company’s production lines no idle capacity. They said the orders will keep the company’s lines busy until the fourth quarter.
Unity’s Wu pointed out that chips from the mainland’s manufacturers, including San’an, are still uncompetitive in pricing and unreliable in quality.
Some Taiwanese assemblers said the mainland’s chipmakers can hardly convince Taiwan’s assemblers to use their products as the chipmakers, in most cases, have set up integrated production mode in cooperation with the mainland’s Led linear high bay light assemblers and application-product suppliers, making the mainland’s assemblers threatening to Taiwan’s assemblers as soon as they grow full-fledged with the money made by the chipmakers from Taiwanese assemblers.

your investment unless you plan to have an ongoing habitat
LEDs also allow growers to tailor their light spectrum to manipulate and maximize certain plant attributes, thereby increasing a plant’s given nutraceutical content.”
Even so, Michele Perchonok, a food scientist at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, says the U.S. space agency would likely only grow fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, strawberries, cherry tomatoes; salad greens, carrots, and bell peppers in hydroponically-equipped lunar greenhouses. She says they would most likely transport earth-grown soybeans, wheat and peanuts to such a lunar colony in bulk.”
“Some of these plants take three months to grow,” said Perchonok. “So, it makes no sense to start building growth chambers or greenhouses if all you’re doing is one six-month stay. It doesn’t give you a good return on your investment unless you plan to have an ongoing habitat.”
“Still, Folta says the biggest challenge would be getting sufficient light to support crops like tomatoes and corn that require lots of photosynthesis.”

SunSi plans to offer a wide range of LED products for large consumer retail chains
To acquire these rights to distribute Lightsky's LED products, SunSi paid $750,000 in restricted common stock in return for the exclusive rights in North American territories, including the United States, Canada and Mexico. In order to maintain exclusivity for the five year period and for the automatic renewal periods, SunSi must achieve certain performance milestones.
SunSi plans to capitalize on this enormous market opportunity by leveraging Lightsky's reputation, technology and quality products to penetrate numerous markets it has already identified. SunSi plans to offer a wide range of LED products for large consumer retail chains, commercial office space, warehouses, parking facilities, stadiums and arenas, exterior building facades, airports, and for LED fluorescent replacement lighting.
Three cities including Yucca Valley in San Bernardino County's Morongo Basin, Goleta on the Santa Barbara coast, and South Lake Tahoe in Eldorado County have made full use of a California Energy Commission program to help spread municipal use of better lighting.
In Yucca Valley, the CEC helped the city replace more than 1,000 older fluorescent lights and their ballasts with more efficient "T8" tubes, which can reduce energy consumption by up to 5 watts per bulb. The city also replaced lighting in exit signs with LED bulbs. The upgrades were done in the city's Community Development Building, Community Center, Town Hall, Museum, and Senior Center.

LEDs on the Key Bridge for their superior vibration resistance
The first phase of the three-year project is about 80 percent completed, with 8,000 new lights in place, said Ted Atwood, director of Baltimore's Department of General Services. Switching the 10,000 city-owned streetlights was the first step. Next up are the lights owned by Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.
For local and state government agencies looking for ways to trim costs, converting street and traffic lights is an opportunity for savings. A study by the Clinton Climate Initiative says streetlights can account for as much as 60 percent of a municipality's electric bill.
Maryland agencies are also making the switch. State officials estimate that LED streetlights have a life span of seven to nine years, versus three to four years for standard sodium vapor lights.
This summer, the Maryland Transportation Authority is testing LED lighting on the Key Bridge as it prepares to replace antiquated fixtures.
"MdTA decided to use LEDs on the Key Bridge for their superior vibration resistance, resulting in less maintenance costs and more energy savings," said spokeswoman Kelly Melhem. "Based on the [outcome] of this pilot testing, we will look at our overall specifications for roadway lighting.

windows will meet a variety of needs in both government and private sector applications
Existing methods used to produce sapphire windows do not meet all the demands of military applications. Rubicon Technology has developed an entirely new growth platform specifically to produce very large polished sapphire infrared (LED high bay light) windows for the Air Force Research Laboratory. Production will be scaled to meet the current and future requirements of the Air Force, beginning with intermediate sizes and progressing to windows as large as 36 x 18 x 0.8 inches. These sapphire windows will meet a variety of needs in both government and private sector applications.
Sapphire is a desirable material for military and other high-performance applications due to its hardness and strength, transparency in the visible and IR spectrum, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, abrasion resistance, high melting point and chemical inertness. As a result, it is ideally suited for IR windows in extreme environments where material durability is just as important as optical clarity.
“Sapphire’s exceptional physical and optical qualities offer many benefits in applications such as military IR windows,” noted Raja M. Parvez, President and CEO of Rubicon Technology. “However, producing high-quality sapphire large enough for such applications has proven difficult. So Rubicon drew on more than a decade of experience and our culture of innovation in crystal growth technology to develop an entirely new platform to address this need. This research sets the stage for many defense and industrial applications for large sapphire windows of exceptional optical quality.
“We are honored to be working with the led high bay lighting Laboratory to create this new technology, and look forward to helping customers in other industries realize the benefits of large-area optical sapphire windows.”

Therefore, creating a made-in-U.S.A. solution to the challenges of bulk GaN production will benefit the company, the LED industry, and the American consumer with more energy efficient, less expensive and more readily available components.
Soraa says manufacturers using other substrates have to use three, four and even more to get the same brightness. Multiple sources of light within a lamp mean fuzzy shadows and not the crisp light required of an MR-16 for best use in commercial, museum or high-end consumer applications. The MR-16 lamps or bulbs are Soraa's first commercially available product.
ARPA-E, a new agency within the U.S. Department of Energy that invests exclusively in transformational energy technologies, began funding Soraa as a consortium member for this project in 2011. ARPA-E's recent decision to make Soraa the lead organisation on the project means that the firm will become the prime contractor working with ARPA-E to commercialise GaN substrate technology.
According a US Department of Energy study , applications for GaN substrates have the potential to reduce U.S. energy consumption by over 30%. Those same applications represent potential markets, including laser diodes and power electronics, of over $50 billion annually.

the tiny chips used to illuminate LEDs to lighting hardware
The international accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP contracted Philips Lightolier to provide customized LED fixtures and control systems to replace all the lighting in its 32-floor, 650,000-square-foot office space located near Times Square.
The retrofit, according to Ernst & Young, will save the company about $1 million annually and reduce lighting energy consumption by 54 percent and maintenance cost by 50 percent. The building supports about 5,800 employees and used 6.2 million kilowatt-hours a year before the energy-efficient lighting was installed.
The company already manufactures more efficient conventional light sources and produces incandescent bulbs that are 25 to 33 percent more energy efficient, Eftekhar said.
Lightolier′s 300,000-square-foot corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility at 631 Airport Road employs more than 250 people, and houses a 5,000-square-foot laboratory. The company is completely vertically integrated, Eftekhar said, manufacturing everything from the tiny chips used to illuminate LEDs to lighting hardware for products like track lighting that it invented in the 1960s.

make up for the slowing display market
However, a major shift occurring in the lighting industry toward more-efficient, longer-lifetime, LED-based lighting, will more than make up for the slowing display market.
Currently, governments are encouraging to use LED lighting products with new regulations and subsidies. LED lighting will enjoy the benefits of these mandates. Therefore, growth in sales of LED phosphors will be driven by sales to the LED lighting industry. Backlighting LEDs are growing at <5% annually; LED lighting is growing at about 30% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), by LED count.
The report points out that better phosphors are needed to bring LED lighting into wider use. Phosphors are one of the keys to achieving the ambitious LED lighting market penetration goals and differentiating the quality of LED lighting products versus other technologies. Phosphors can improve the quality of LED light to meet consumers’ demand, as a result, LEDs are still many times more expensive than incandescent bulbs.
Noribachi, a premier U.S. based LED and solar lighting accelerator, experiences rapid success with the NORImark LED alliance program. The program, debuted in early 2012, was created to standardize LED lighting while empowering lighting industry stakeholders with state-of-the-art, market-ready LED solutions.

the use of LED lighting in airfield installations
EvoLucia's LED lights save over 50% in energy-savings and can contribute to substantial decreases in energy costs and maintenance. The facility's total electricity consumption, including traditional and LED lights, has dropped over 42% from a high of 400kWh/day in July 2011 to a low of 232kWh/day after the installation in April 2012. "We are saving about $1500/month in energy costs and we are projecting that our maintenance bill should drop by $15,000 annually based on the EvoLucia products' nearly 100,000 hour life," added Nishijima.
Recently, the Lighting Research Center (LRC) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has cooperated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to jointly study the use of LED lighting in airfield installations, and has released LED Airfield Lighting report.
The report was published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies through the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), which funded the study. A panel of experts from aviation, government, industry, and academia appointed by the National Academies oversaw the project.
The report compiled and written by John Bullough, senior research scientist and adjunct assistant professor at the LRC, draws on the experience of airport operators, on published accounts of LED airfield installations, and on the LRC’s knowledge of LED lighting technologies and aviation applications.
